Welcome to the real world ... Cisco SUP720-3BXL Cisco RSP720-3BXL
and even the new and shiny SUP2T only supports 1 Mio routes (dicvided to IPv4 MPLS, IPv4 VRF, IPv4 global routes, etc). I guess this is still the truth: there are at least a few ten thousand of these devices running big parts of the internet. Take a look at some big players network - e.g. Level3. Their customer access routers in Slovakia, Austria and Germany are still based on the Cisco 6500/7600 platform. Of course there are many other vendors and platforms available which do NOT have this limitations. But there are also at least a ton of vendors on the market with exactly the same limitation :(. best regards Jürgen Jaritsch Head of Network & Infrastructure ANEXIA Internetdienstleistungs GmbH Telefon: +43-5-0556-300 Telefax: +43-5-0556-500 E-Mail: jjarit...@anexia-it.com Web: http://www.anexia-it.com Anschrift Hauptsitz Klagenfurt: Feldkirchnerstraße 140, 9020 Klagenfurt Geschäftsführer: Alexander Windbichler Firmenbuch: FN 289918a | Gerichtsstand: Klagenfurt | UID-Nummer: AT U63216601 -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: NANOG [mailto:nanog-boun...@nanog.org] Im Auftrag von Mike Hammett Gesendet: Freitag, 02.

If someone's network can't match that today, should I really have any pity for them? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Kaufman" <matt...@matthew.at> To: "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> Cc: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Friday, October 2, 2015 10:48:29 AM Subject: Re: /27 the new /24 Cheaper than buying everyone TCAM Matthew Kaufman (Sent from my iPhone) > On Oct 2, 2015, at 8:32 AM, Mike Hammett <na...@ics-il.net> wrote: > > Much m ore than I'm willing to spend. ;-) > > > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > Midwest Internet Exchange > http://www.midwest-ix.com > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Matthew Kaufman" <matt...@matthew.at> > To: "Justin Wilson - MTIN" <li...@mtin.net> > Cc: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> > Sent: Friday, October 2, 2015 9:48:33 AM > Subject: Re: /27 the new /24 > > A /24 isn't that expensive yet... > > Matthew Kaufman > > (Sent from my iPhone) > >> On Oct 2, 2015, at 7:32 AM, Justin Wilson - MTIN <li...@mtin.net> wrote: >> >> I was in a discussion the other day and several Tier2 providers were talking >> about the idea of adjusting their BGP filters to accept prefixes smaller >> than a /24.
